commit 0378c625afe80eb3f212adae42cc33c9f6f31abf upstream.
There wasn't ever a real need to log an error in the kernel log for ioctls issued with insufficient permissions. Simply return an error and if an admin/user is sufficiently motivated they can enable DM's dynamic debugging to see an explanation for why the ioctls were disallowed.
